Apple iPhone and iPad users in the Philippines may no longer need to
use their debit or credit card to pay for their purchases in the App Store and
other Apple services as they can now use their Paymaya account as their
frequently preferred payment method for Apple App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV
and iTunes store purchases and more.
The inclusion of Paymaya as an Apple ID payment method in the Philippines
offers a more convenient way for Apple device users to purchase their choice of
apps, games, music, TV series, movies and other content for their iPhones and
iPads without the need of using conventional methods. What makes the development
more intriguing and more beneficial for Filipino Apple device users is that Paymaya
does not share one's bank information with Apple making these transactions
private and secured.
Customers can manage their Apple ID payment information on the Settings
in their iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as well as on their Mac or PC. For more
information on how to add Paymaya as a payment method, visit www.paymaya.com.ph/apple-services.
